<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1347665, member: 24091&quot;]Have to disagree with you there, --the coin sold for $338 which is $1800 an ounce gold. If you take the $17 grading fee and factor in prorated shipping and insurance charges to and from NGC, the cost becomes close to $20 even with a couple dozen coins submitted. Subtract eBay commissions and PayPal vigorish, and pretty soon the coin has really only fetched 338-20-32-12 = $274 BUT Wait!! The seller also offered free shipping in his auction, and to avoid a PayPal charge back he would have had to insure it even if it does only weigh 5 grams.,,, So now we deduct another $3.75 for a grand total price realized of $270.25 --or-- the equivalent per ounce price of only $1447 which is way WAY below melt. Pure lunacy to send the coin in, even if it came back MS68 the chances of making any money are almost zero.&nbsp; While it&#039;s true some collectors will pay a modest premium for a slabbed bullion coin on eBay, it&#039;s not enough to offset the cost.&nbsp; As for dealers, they won&#039;t pay an extra penny for a bullion coin that&#039;s slabbed, and many would even crack the coin out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
